UK Denies Entry to AfD Politician Petr Bystron for London Rally
British authorities have denied entry to Petr Bystron, a Member of the European Parliament from Germany's right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, preventing him from attending a planned right-wing demonstration in London. Bystron intended to speak at the event but was informed on Friday morning that his electronic entry permit was rejected. In response, he criticized the decision heavily, comparing the British political system to communism and stating that Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government is finished because it excludes critics. Despite the absence of Bystron and other planned international speakers, including a Polish MP, the demonstration organized by right-wing activist Tommy Robinson is scheduled to proceed in London on Saturday. The incident highlights ongoing tensions regarding free speech, immigration controls, and right-wing activism in Europe. The situation remains dynamic, with reports indicating that while foreign speakers are barred, the domestic component of the rally will take place as intended.
